I think it's funny that people always criticize boxers for going after the easy opposition and wanting to get their paydays (while still hyping these guys up) but when Chisora does the exact opposite he is rated poorly. The fact is that Chisora beat down a top guy in Helenius (the fight wasn't close) and has the best opposition of the HW division recently. He fought Vitali, Haye, Fury, and Helenius! Vitali, Haye, and Fury are easily 3/4 of the best fighters today. Chisora's losses are really amongst the best guys. Even then, he gave each top guy he faced a tough fight. It was easily Fury's closest and toughest fight, Vitali's toughest fight post-injury, Haye's toughest fight that he's won, and Helenius' because he just straight up lost. Every other fight these guys had in the past few years have really just been dominant displays with no real test while in fights against Chisora these guys definitely had to deal with adversity. People just look at the losses, but Chisora's resume with less than 20 fights has better names then most good HW boxers get through their whole careers. Now people think that Chisora would lose against guys like Charr and other lower HW's. That's a ****ing joke. Chisora clowns guys like Charr, Adamek, Cunningham, and Chambers. He's a top 5 HW. I even think he could destroy Povetkin Personally, I really want Chisora to just re-start and beat down other top 10 HW's. He's a great fighter and I know that after he beats these guys and gains valuable experience he could be HW champion when the Klitschkos are retired.
Chambers would outbox him stupid, so would pre-Arreola Adamek but you can't take away from him that he always comes to fight and give it his all, even if he's not in shape
Chisora knows how to sell a fight too. Him and Vitali were looking like best friends in all their interviews before he slapped him. He just wanted to set up a future fight with Wlad. It was also ring psychology. He wanted Vitali to come after him.
Fury had a much tougher fight with McDermott, Haye had tougher fights with Fragomeni & Mormeck. Chisora deserves a lot of respect for the run of opponents he's faced, dont forget he signed to fight Wlad twice before he fought Fury as well. Its a shame he's trying to run before he can walk but I hope the Haye KO hasnt taken too much out of him & he can get back in the mix.
Agreed. It's about time Chisora, Zack Page and Remigijus Ziausys get the respect they deserve. Those chaps will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.
